Vivo is set to unveil the X300 Ultra on March 30, promising significant advances in mobile video recording aimed at creators and professionals. The new handset enhances video capabilities substantially, building on the success of its predecessor, the X200 Pro, and offers features that rival dedicated cinema cameras.
The standout upgrade in the X300 Ultra is its support for full focal length 4K recording at 120 frames per second with a 10-bit Log color profile. This doubles the frame rate from the X200 Pro’s 60fps, delivering smoother motion capture and increased editing flexibility. Notably, all three rear cameras on the device support these video specs, a rare feature that eliminates inconsistencies between lenses and enables creators to switch focal lengths without compromising footage quality.
Vivo X300 Ultra’s advanced video recording capabilities
Vivo also revamped the Professional Video Mode, introducing a cleaner interface that offers real-time access to critical shooting data and extensive manual controls. Creators gain the ability to preview 3D LUT color profiles while filming Log footage, bridging the gap between capture and color grading by allowing immediate evaluation of color and tone.
Professional-grade encoding and color workflow support
On the post-production front, the X300 Ultra supports APV 422 professional video encoding, which captures a broader color gamut and preserves greater detail for editing. This encoding is compatible with the ACES color workflow standard widely used in filmmaking, enabling easier integration with footage shot on cinema-grade cameras-a benefit for content creators working across devices.
Vivo’s expanding content creation lineup and competition
The announcement of the X300 Ultra comes alongside expected reveals of the Vivo X300s smartphone and the Vivo Pad 6 Pro tablet during the same event, signaling Vivo’s broad push into content creation tools. With rivals like the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro solidifying their own pro video features, Vivo’s emphasis on versatile 4K 120fps Log recording could attract videographers seeking advanced mobile options.
